| Abstract |
A 63 year-woman was diagnosed with esophageal cancer (Mt. T4N2M0, c-Stage IIIC) after full examination. She underwent chemotherapy with 5-FU+CDDP (FP) through a central venous line (CV). She developed a fever of more than 40 degrees C 15 days after the first course of chemotherapy. We removed the CV owing to suspicion of catheter-related bloodstream infection (CRBSI) and initiated treatment with antibiotics (CFPM). Even so, she experienced swelling from the right cervix to the precordium. We confirmed suppurative thrombophlebitis from the right jugular vein to the superior vena cava by CT and blood culture. After anti-coagulation therapy, venous thrombosis diminished and inflammation was cured. The patient continued to receive chemotherapy, underwent a bypass operation, and completed chemo-radiotherapy successfully while receiving anti-coagulation therapy. |

| Abstract |
For years, quantitative blood cultures found only limited use as aids in the diagnosis and management of septic patients because the available methods were cumbersome, labor intensive, and practical only for relatively small volumes of blood. The development and subsequent commercial availability of lysis-centrifugation direct plating methods for blood cultures have addressed many of the shortcomings of the older methods. The lysis-centrifugation method has demonstrated good performance relative to broth-based blood culture methods. As a result, quantitative blood cultures have found widespread use in clinical microbiology laboratories. Most episodes of clinical significant bacteremia in adults are characterized by low numbers of bacteria per milliliter of blood. In children, the magnitude of bacteremia is generally much higher, with the highest numbers of bacteria found in the blood of septic neonates. The magnitude of bacteremia correlates with the severity of disease in children and with mortality rates in adults, but other factors play more important roles in determining the patient's outcome. Serial quantitative blood cultures have been used to monitor the in vivo efficacy of antibiotic therapy in patients with slowly resolving sepsis, such as disseminated Mycobacterium avium-M. intracellulare complex infections. Quantitative blood culture methods were used in early studies of bacterial endocarditis, and the results significantly contributed to our understanding of the pathophysiology of this disease. Comparison of paired quantitative blood cultures obtained from a peripheral vein and the central venous catheter has been used to help identify patients with catheter-related sepsis and is the only method that does not require removal of the catheter to establish the diagnosis. Quantitation of bacteria in the blood can also help distinguish contaminated from truly positive blood cultures; however, no quantitative criteria can invariably differentiate contamination from bacteremia. |

| Abstract |
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Stenotrophomonas maltophilia bacteremia is an important cause of mortality among immunocompromised children. However, there has been little information concerning S. maltophilia bacteremia in the pediatric population. METHODS: We reviewed the drug susceptibility of bloodstream isolates of S. maltophilia and medical charts of S. maltophilia bacteremia patients less than 18 years old at the Department of Pediatrics, National Taiwan University Hospital from January 1993 to June 2003. The risk factors associated with mortality of the patients with S. maltophilia bacteremia were analyzed. RESULTS: In total, 32 episodes (31 patients) of S. maltophilia bacteremia were reviewed. The average rate of nosocomial bloodstream infection was 8.3 episodes per 100,000 patient-days, and an average of 6.4% of them were caused by S. maltophilia. Malignancy was the most common underlying disease (32%). Six episodes of S. maltophilia bacteremia had soft tissue involvement, and only 1 of them underwent surgical intervention and survived. These 32 isolates were most susceptible to trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (91%), and no obvious increase in multidrug resistance was noted in the previous 10 years. The crude mortality rate was 40.6%. Malignancy, failure to remove central venous catheter, and ineffective antibiotic treatment were significant risk factors for mortality. CONCLUSIONS: Early and effective antimicrobial therapy and removal of central venous catheter as soon as possible are vital for the successful management of S. maltophilia bacteremia. |

| Abstract |
OBJECTIVE: To study bacteria and drug sensitivity of catheter-related sepsis (CRS). METHODS: Between February 1993 and December 1997, 52 patients with central venous catheter-related sepsis were studied retrospectively. RESULTS: The most common organisms were staphylococcus aureus and staphylococcus epidermis. The bacterial pathogens isolated demonstrated a marked pattern of antibiotic resistance. Gram-positive cocci were sensitive to vancomycin with a sensitivity of 93.3%, and gram-negative bacilli were sensitive to amikacin and ceftazidine with a sensitivity of 51.7%. CONCLUSIONS: The effective treatment of catheter-related sepsis is removal of infected catheters. Vancomycin and (or) amikacin may be first chosen to treat CRS. |
